Models the RuntimeVisibleAnnotations attribute (JVMS 4.7.16), which stores declaration annotations on this structure that are visible to both class file consumers and core reflection.

This attribute appears on classes, fields, methods, and record components, and does not permit multiple instances in one structure. It has a data dependency on the constant pool.

The attribute was introduced in the Java SE Platform version 5.0, major version 49.
